I've used Moviestorm, iClone and Muvizu over the past few years. None are "the best", each has their own pros and cons. The great thing is that we have such a wide variety of tools to use, no longer limited to just using games to make animation. I like to think of it as using the right tool for the right Job. Eg. I wouldn't dream of using Muvizu to make a serious drama, it just wouldn't work, but for silly comedy and fast production, its the best tool in the box.



As for the free/non-free comments, well, think about it, Muvizu won't be free forever, at some point, they'll probably be a lite version and a pro/paid version, unless of course the investors have infinitely large bank accounts :-) IClone is the same, theres a free non-expiring version, a standard and a pro version. Moviestorm have a free/lite version (v1.2), a buy version (v1.4) and a rent version (v1.4).




I'm currently not using Moviestorm, as I can't afford to rent or buy it, version 1.2 lite doesn't have the features I need, and runs like a sack of sh*t on my PC, however iClone and Muvizu run just fine and I shall continue to enjoy using them both.




End of Rant :-)

I'd have to agree with this - we knew when we embarked on this that we were catering for a cartoony and fun market - but I've seen a couple of things made in Muvizu that would suggest otherwise. One is The Hipster Bee-Bop Junkies - http://www.muvizu.com/Video/12748/The-Hipster-Bebop-Junkies

Other stuff has been produced by a community group near us; children talking about life in a none-too-pleasant environment. I reckon that much of the impact is in the voices and the scripts - if there is a script.

So, yes, we're as you suggest, but there are Muvizu works around that are genuinely touching and emotionally charged without being comedic.
